Pinkus Frankl

Pinkus Friedrich Frankl (Hebrew: פנחס פראנקל; February 28, 1848 – August 22, 1887) was a German rabbi and scholar.

He received his education at the yeshivah in Presburg, and later prepared for the rabbinate at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau.

[1] Simultaneously, he pursued studies in Orientalia at the university of the same city, earning his doctoral degree in 1870.

Frankl's responsibilities expanded in 1881 when he also took on a teaching role at the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums, lecturing in Jewish philosophy, medieval Hebrew literature, and homiletics.

[3] During this period, he collaborated with Heinrich Graetz on the publication of the Monatsschrift für die Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums.
